Fork Compatibility

nonnac85

Stand by for lots of questions over the next few weeks as I get on with my first custom build....

Can you run any forks on a 24" bike e.g. DJ1's / RS Toras - have been looking on the web and seen a fair few bikes with 24" wheels sporting DJ's but Im not sure if they have been modified or not.
Also does "suspension corrected" just mean that the fork is a simliar length to a suspension fork but is rigid?

Many Thanks

Qu 1. yes as long as it is disc braked. (there is/was the DJ Street that was a 24" wheel fork that could use V brakes)
u 2 basically yes. but ask first. as the frame will come into the equation as well. and also how much suspension corrected?

Its a Giant STP frame (2006)
Looks like THIS which shouldn't have any problems with a DJ fork / RS Tora or similar then.

Won't bother with corrected suspension as i would prefer 80/100mm travel to rigid.

fine with a 100mm DJ or Argyle.

Also, whilst a great fork/pretty robust.. the Tora is not a jump fork. The coil versions are tough as old boots but you really need the right fork for the job i.e, Argyle/Marz DJ series as nicklouse said.

Or alternatively, how bout a nice set of rigid jump forks for that old skool feel.... ?

Identiti Rebate, DMR Trail blade etc

Will probably go for a MZ DJ in some form or another.

Have thought about getting a rigid fork like the Trail Blade (see suspension corrected post) but would prefer to have suspension.
